Wow, this was an amazing video. Thanks for all the great information. I'm half Sicilian, and half English. My last name is Fletcher, which is a Norman surname on my Dad's side, who has Norman ancestry from the invasions into England. My mother's family is from Palermo, and it seems they have Norman ancestry as well, although you wouldn't know it by our physical features (black curly hair, olive skin and dark eyes). I think over the many generations, the Normans and Lombards, who were mainly fair haired, blue eyed, had children with Sicilian women and over centuries their ancestors became more and more Mediterranean looking. Living in a very sunny, hot climate will do that over many centuries as well.

The English book cover says 120, 000 years not 12,000 , I will get a copy for sure 👍🏻

I come from near Raknehaugen. Raknehaugen er en gravhaug i Ullensaker, Akershus. Haugen ligger ca. 800 m nordøst for Hovin kirke.

It must be wonderful to live in the land of your ancestors with your culture still intact.

Wow, I spent a few weeks in Dramen 20 years ago, never knew anything about this.

Fascinating, thank you.

I only wish I could go on a historical tour with you... you're doing what I dream of!!

Hej från Örebro Län i Sverige

Fascinating people! Thanks for this very interesting video 👍 Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

Sturla, hvor får jeg kjøpt en sånn skjorte?

Can Yoy some time tell abouth how the Wikings that was in Tibnine in south Lebanon came there, and even built a castle there. I have walked in this area when I was there during my serwice there in the UN-forces in NORWEGIAN FORCES MAINTAINANCE COMPANY.

Glad to see you back my friend

😂😂then started 1000 years of sucking.

Beautiful ancient burial ground.

Folk søker sitt opphav, derfor endte Vikingene opp med å tro på Kvitekrist (Jesus) etter å blitt kristnet av sine slavekvinner. Den som leter skal finne.

I go there to hauge. It helps.👏😉🤓

What if the people of native Nordic faith just started to reclaim our sacred places. A very tempting thought 😇😉🙏🏻

Are you of sami heritage? You have certain characteristics that is unique to the sami people, and that is a good thing!

Sturla!

Love your passion and knowledge for every thing Viking buddy thank you for sharing all the best Budo 🍺🤠👍🏻

Good to see you back bro!

I 've been there once, in 1998 on one of my first long biketrips. But the last time I was in Norway was back in 2009. I really should go for a good biketrip to Norway again.

I love Burial Mounds, and i hope Hulkoff expands on them in his new album

welcome back!

Great to see you back, Sturla! Just thought about when you'll post next tomorrow! Pleasant coincidence.

The recovery from male bottleneck is made possible only by a society which allows polygamy. It must had been possible before Christianity to have children with more women. "Ivan" was undoubtedly great not only with battle axe. By the way, it's not only I1 that I find sounding like "Ivan", but also the mythological Odin means "One" in several Slavic languages. You count 1, 2, 3 as "Odin, dva, tri". If you want to know why a God is named after the first numeral, it could just mean that his parents had him as firstborn; but it could also mean that he was to be one and only God. Who can tell?

Isn't the mythological I1 actually just an ordinary "Ivan"? 🤭

Sturla, I read the video description. So is everything now over on Patreon? If so, I’ll head on over. Been wondering why I haven’t seen notifications 😂

Every person who is indigenous to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland is going to be partly from viking descent. Especially if all 4 of their grandparents are from those countries. The amount will vary from one person to another. Its be proven by many studies. The vikings, whether Norwegian or Danish, had a big influence on all of those countries.

Koer in Irish means Ker in serbian.ker or koer means dog

One connection is visible

So you could consider the Celts were Slavs

Also the language 😜

It's simple because you as a child learn the words of your mother 🎉
